[00:00:04] -!- Cyprus has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[00:03:33] <BadCoderFinger> The answer is simple, Spalls. You have to do something much stupider.
[00:03:44] <BadCoderFinger> Wait, wait, lemme hack the webcam again...
[00:03:50] <BadCoderFinger> Ok... Now... Go!
[00:04:17] <SpallsHurgenson> my webcam has a little tin-foil hat on it; hack away :)
[00:04:58] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, we did the 220 volt trick. It's gone now.
[00:05:32] <BadCoderFinger> Dude, you gotta change your password from n33dpr0n
[00:05:37] <SpallsHurgenson> that implies I use USB; firewire forever!
[00:05:57] <SpallsHurgenson> how did you know ********* is my password?

[00:15:11] <BadCoderFinger> Better to copy that to .plan
[00:15:34] <BadCoderFinger> Err, the Venezuela thing, not the Bob thing.
[00:15:45] <Yog-Yogguth> XD (yeah I think we all got that)
[00:16:09] <BadCoderFinger> In IRC, one is never quite sure.
[00:16:50] <takyon> hmm
[00:16:59] <takyon> well his party isn't going to win
[00:17:20] <Yog-Yogguth> so that lready one rason to consider voting for him right there :D
[00:17:37] <Yog-Yogguth> clean conscience :)
[00:17:55] <BadCoderFinger> Speaking of which, I got my mail in ballot today. So another round of throwing votes away!
[00:18:06] <SpallsHurgenson> does this mean nobody is voting for me this year?
[00:18:19] <takyon> what election BCF
[00:18:31] <takyon> you should write-in Spalls

[00:18:44] <SpallsHurgenson> I promise to exploit the masses for my own self-aggrandizement
[00:18:59] <SpallsHurgenson> and isn't that what we expect from our leaders these days?
[00:19:06] <Yog-Yogguth> so you're both an R and a D?
[00:19:07] <BadCoderFinger> You know, if Spalls was running in Colorado, I'd vote for him.
[00:19:18] <Yog-Yogguth> how far does he have to run?
[00:19:30] <SpallsHurgenson> can I ride a Rascal instead?
[00:20:05] <Yog-Yogguth> R2D2
[00:20:12] <SpallsHurgenson> preferably a gold-plated Rascal with its own chauffeur :)
[00:20:12] <BadCoderFinger> His campaign slogan could be, "I'll do slightly less damage than the other guys! Kittens and hackable webcams for everyone!"
[00:20:39] <BadCoderFinger> Or, "Hillary hacked my webcam! Again!"
[00:20:46] <BadCoderFinger> That one might actually work.
[00:21:33] <SpallsHurgenson> wouldn't you have to hack the OS its plugged into first? I mean, its not as if the camera is directly accessible from the internet
[00:21:44] <SpallsHurgenson> (or have the IoT'd that too?)
[00:21:50] <Yog-Yogguth> the cameras are delivered by kitten
[00:22:09] <SpallsHurgenson> if I got the white house, I'd fill it with kitties :)
[00:22:16] <Yog-Yogguth> those kittycam necklaces
[00:22:29] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[00:22:35] <BadCoderFinger> Still got my vote.
[00:23:29] <SpallsHurgenson> I can configure an email client to use imap; that's more than any of the other candidates! I deserve the geek vote!
[00:23:57] <Yog-Yogguth> can you make an exploding zip?
[00:24:15] <Yog-Yogguth> wait already been done in the WH, never mind
[00:25:13] <SpallsHurgenson> oh man, I got hit by a zip bomb back in the BBS days.
[00:25:23] <SpallsHurgenson> I thought it was AWESOME
[00:25:33] <Yog-Yogguth> :D
[00:25:52] <Yog-Yogguth> it was
[00:25:55] <SpallsHurgenson> (after I grumpily formatted my harddrive and reinstalled everything :)
[00:25:59] <Yog-Yogguth> stll is :)
[00:27:22] <SpallsHurgenson> sadly, hard-drives are still vulnerable... we need 5PBiB drives already so we can finally put this threat to rest!
[00:28:25] <SpallsHurgenson> maybe if we all start sending zipbombs to western digital or seagate they'll get the hint :)
[00:28:29] <Yog-Yogguth> heh :) more pain no gain
[00:31:14] <SpallsHurgenson> I wonder how much disk-space it would take to get me to finally stop uninstalling apps, archiving data and generally using a computer as if I were still on a 40mb hdd :)
[00:31:18] <takyon> i hope drives make it to 1 petabyte
[00:31:31] <BadCoderFinger> I should think they will.
[00:32:01] <takyon> Idk, I've run the numbers in the past and I'm not sure whether spinning rust, stacked NAND, or other tech will reach that level
[00:32:07] <BadCoderFinger> Technically, a striped ZFS across 5 2
[00:32:16] <BadCoderFinger> TB drives would be nifty...
[00:32:21] <BadCoderFinger> (glue)
[00:32:33] <SpallsHurgenson> we've made a pancake 50' across; there's no reason we can't do the same with hard-drive platters! :)
[00:32:46] <BadCoderFinger> (Stupid thunkpad keyboard. Keys are weird on this.)
[00:32:48] <takyon> except friction
[00:33:08] <SpallsHurgenson> nobody specified it had to be a FAST hard-drive :)
[00:33:18] <BadCoderFinger> I can only imagine the seek times on a 50' hard drive...
[00:33:42] <takyon> on that note, there are supposedly drives with 2 read/write heads per platter in development
[00:33:43] <Yog-Yogguth> it would have many meters of drive heads
[00:33:45] <SpallsHurgenson> multi-head drive?
[00:33:53] <takyon> I'm surprised it hasn't been done before
[00:34:12] <SpallsHurgenson> multi-head drives aren't new... I remember they existed back in the DOS days
[00:34:23] <Yog-Yogguth> technically they're all multihead (t leas during the last twenty years or so)
[00:34:33] <Yog-Yogguth> just not in that way
[00:34:59] <SpallsHurgenson> well, if they have more than one platter
[00:35:10] <Yog-Yogguth> yup
[00:35:28] <SpallsHurgenson> lots of drives are single platters though, so "all" is incorrect :)
[00:35:43] <Yog-Yogguth> oh still? didn't know that
[00:35:56] <Yog-Yogguth> thought those were extinct
[00:36:00] <SpallsHurgenson> I take apart a lot of drives :)
[00:36:05] <Yog-Yogguth> :)
[00:36:09] <takyon> not just one head on each side of the platter though
[00:36:12] <SpallsHurgenson> I like playing with the magnets :)
[00:36:17] <takyon> I'm talking 2 on the same side
[00:36:37] <Yog-Yogguth> yeah I was bein silly takyon :)
[00:37:09] <SpallsHurgenson> apparently it was "Connor Peripherals" that did it back in the 80s and 90s
[00:37:42] <SpallsHurgenson> two complete head actuator assemblies with independent control circuitry for both

[00:39:11] <SpallsHurgenson> mind you, if you had a 50' platter, you'd have room for a lot of actuators... and you wouldn't need the actuators to swing over the whole drive :)
[00:39:20] <takyon> I read a reference to recent multi-head per platter side development on El Reg. So I'm goijng to search for it
[00:39:47] <SpallsHurgenson> I'd care more about Hillary's emails if I thought for a moment it would have any effect on whether or not she was nominated by the democrats...
[00:40:14] <SpallsHurgenson> ... but it doesn't; that's pretty much assured, so its all a moot point.

[00:40:55] <takyon> yeah, if there was any smoking gun Hillary probably deleted it
[00:41:06] <Yog-Yogguth> are there a lot of flowers in LA?
[00:41:39] <SpallsHurgenson> fuck, if there was a smoking gun, a dead body, hillary's fingerprints all over, and a written confession it still wouldn't matter...
[00:42:03] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, no kidding.
[00:42:21] <BadCoderFinger> When you're slimy, the crap slides right off.
[00:43:28] <Yog-Yogguth> I just don't understand how it's possible that anyone at all likes her and/or her husband, but then there's a lot I don't understand
[00:44:56] <Yog-Yogguth> people are weird and I'm weirder
[00:46:58] <takyon> they want there female president... and there's only two choices Hillary or Carly Fiorina
[00:47:06] <takyon> ONLY TWO CHOICES no third parties allowed
[00:47:41] <takyon> I've been making a lot of grammar mistakes lately. I must have permanent brain damage.

[00:49:46] <SpallsHurgenson> you know, I think hillary and fiona were counting on women to vote for them because they were women... except it seems to me that lots of women can be pretty bitchy about supporting other women :)

[00:50:36] <SpallsHurgenson> as I've said, I'll make my predictions after I reinstall Unreal Tournament :)
[00:50:47] <takyon> I find it hard to believe Hillary and Bernie can exist on the same ticket
[00:50:57] <takyon> although they were pretty chummy and he has lots of support
[00:51:07] <Yog-Yogguth> it's what my spleen tells me, no guarantee or refunds :)
[00:51:34] <takyon> I would have to go back and study this, but I feel like Vice President picks are usually outsiders who weren't in the race, or one of the candidates that was barely noticed
[00:51:58] <takyon> which would explain Cheney, Biden, Paul Ryan, Sarah Palin
[00:52:23] <Yog-Yogguth> but Hillary does anything for power
[00:52:40] <Yog-Yogguth> and Sanders might croak any second
[00:52:51] <Yog-Yogguth> and it isn't like she wouldn't kill :3
[00:52:55] <takyon> support in the primaries doesn't necessarily mean support in general
[00:53:02] <takyon> and she is no spring chicken herself

[00:58:00] <Yog-Yogguth> LOL
[00:58:29] <SpallsHurgenson> although you could always tell them apart...
[00:58:30] <Yog-Yogguth> he'd invest in that!

[01:01:00] <SpallsHurgenson> in my defense, I'm trying to chat on IRC while also driving 17 tons of nitrocellulose across Europe :)

[01:05:06] <SpallsHurgenson> worse, I'm a (virtual) truck-driver :)
[01:05:32] <Yog-Yogguth> oh noes, not Farming2015 or whaever it was called?
[01:05:40] <takyon> are you playing truck simulator
[01:05:43] <SpallsHurgenson> Eurotruck simulator 2, yeah :)
[01:05:52] <takyon> well memed
[01:06:18] <BadCoderFinger> Hope it has an autopilot.
[01:06:19] <chromas> it's not really virtual; you're driving an actual truck, like in Toys
[01:06:44] <chromas> outsourcing! outsourcing jerbs to vidya game players
[01:06:57] <SpallsHurgenson> given my driving record in the game, I hope not!
[01:19:06] <SpallsHurgenson> I wonder if "those damn emails" are actually helping Hillary more than hurting her... I mean, its a technical issue so nobody really understands it, it keeps her name in the news, it lets her pretend to be a victim, and lots of people don't consider it a serious breach (I mean, who hasn't done something stupid with a computer at least once?)
[01:20:00] <SirFinkus> I think having your own email server set up demonstrates aggressive stupidity, if not malice
[01:20:44] <SirFinkus> stupidity would be having billisanasshole as a password, that's ignorance, setting up a personal email server or having one set up is an explicit act
[01:21:03] <SpallsHurgenson> ooh, poor hillary is just a woman, and an old one to boot... SHE can't be expected to understand those intricacies. We should be proud that she's able to use email at all, unlike those other old fogeys :)
[01:22:09] <takyon> yeah there's definitely a lot of ways to give her a pass on it
[01:22:12] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - ‘99.99 Percent Air’: Boeing Releases Video of Revolutionary Lightweight Metal - http://sylnt.us - who-cares-it-isn't-made-of-graphene
[01:22:32] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm not saying she should get a pass, just that she IS because people don't consider it a serious issue
[01:22:59] <SpallsHurgenson> ("oh, its a private computer? well, the NSA probably has the files; they spy on everyone, so what's the problem?")
[01:23:31] <SpallsHurgenson> ("oh, the chinese could have potentially haxored her box? well, anyone can get haxored these days, so we can't blame her")
[01:23:55] <SirFinkus> she shouldn't get a pass at all, my understanding is that she broke the law, and I don't buy any ignorance arguements
[01:24:18] <SpallsHurgenson> I have to wonder if the fact that "these damn emails" keeps her name in the news isn't actually helping her campaign more than it hurts it
[01:24:26] <SirFinkus> but really, in the entire scheme of things, it isn't a huge deal
[01:24:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> i just blame her for giving lousy head. if she'd spent any time at all practicing, bill wouldn't have to have gone chubby chasing.
[01:24:28] <takyon> transparency? ain't never seen that
[01:24:33] <SirFinkus> politicians do worse daily

It's not FUD, it's a common complaint with ISPs. It's happened to me. And last I heard, MS does have some kind of support line (for regular Joes) you can call, but you have to pay per-incident for help there, and it's not cheap. Most people go to Geek Squad, or ask their teenager/nephew/etc. for help.

[14:35:52] <janrinok> yep perl it is - not that I know anything about it. TheMightyBuzzard is on this chan, and he is one of the devs
[14:36:10] <brainacid> not a dev either but I like to play with code
[14:36:35] <janrinok> what's your favourite language for coding?

[14:36:45] <janrinok> thanks for the compliment

[14:44:10] <brainacid> Dont like the racism here to be honest
[14:44:53] <brainacid> ppl like to bullshit that its 2015 and thats not so bad but you put on a Latino costume and see how blk/wht folk treat you here. omg
[14:45:04] <brainacid> Tampa is my fav in FL
[14:45:05] <janrinok> well, I'm in France, and it is definitely getting cooler and wetter as each day goes by. I live near a beach, but I wouldn't be on it today!
[14:45:30] <brainacid> Nice! French is an amazing language, learned a tiny bit in middle school
[14:45:52] <janrinok> I've learned a bit too - I'm actually a Brit who escaped here
[14:46:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> escaped what? bland food?
[14:46:30] <brainacid> Nice. speaking of France, I did some reading about the Legion and gave it some thought on joining

[15:06:10] <brainacid> hello back
[15:07:12] <brainacid> TheMightyBuzzard: If it had to do with that but unfortunately the debt system is the real issue, our currency is foreign and so America itself is non-existent, we need to get back to a dejure gov, just my .02 its a rather iffy subject
[15:07:36] <janrinok> Yog-Yogguth: after our conversation yesterday regarding the ebola/nurse story, the BBC said that she had shown symptoms of meningitis when she reported to the doctor last week
[15:08:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh the currency's irrelevant really. nothing is worth anything but what people believe it is worth. we could use absolutely anything for currency as long as it's well regulated.
[15:09:21] <Yog-Yogguth> janrinok: hmm, and they sent her home with that?
[15:10:23] <janrinok> so it would seem - but that is only 1 report
[15:10:24] <brainacid> TheMightyBuzzard: yup. crazy aint it.
[15:11:11] <janrinok> it was diagnosed as a 'virus' - meningitis is not that common in people of her age group
[15:11:29] <janrinok> ... but that is hardly an excuse
[15:12:12] <janrinok> today's 'update' is just a repeat of yesterday's statment.
[15:13:56] <Yog-Yogguth> janrinok: I don'ẗ see anything new out of London Free hopstial or NHS Glasgow+ so it's probably just BBC churning

[15:16:17] <janrinok> that depends on what you want to contribute. Would you prefer coding, editing, testing/QA?

[15:17:23] <brainacid> Yeah sysadmin stuff is nice, will check that git now
[15:18:13] <janrinok> well, if coding, I would suggest that you download some of the stuff from git and see if any of it makes sense. Editing normally takes a few days of training, but that can be arranged if you want to follow that route. Testing/QA, I would suggest you try to catch Bytram|away on here sometime and ask him about it.

[20:12:01] Bytram|away is now known as Bytram
[20:17:35] <Bytram> swell, just swell.
[20:17:56] <Bytram> so I'm trying to find out more about this critical Internet Explorer bug I read about.
[20:18:24] <Bytram> I go and check windows update and realized that I have only selected to be notified about updates to windows.
[20:18:42] <Bytram> IOW, I need to tell it to *also* check for Internet Explorer.
[20:18:58] <Bytram> I clicked the provided link and it brings up: http://update.microsoft.com
[20:19:08] <Bytram> in my preferred browser -- Pale Moon
[20:19:58] <Bytram> and then tells me that, in order to get the updates, I need to be running Internet Explorer(!!) *AND* that I need to open up a bunch of sites in the Trusted Sites zone...
[20:20:30] <Bytram> further: Note that you may need to uncheck "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone."
[20:21:16] <Bytram> so I need to allow unprotected connections to allow Windows to download a fix using the very browser that has known vulnerabilities?
[20:21:25] <Bytram> face-desk.
[20:21:39] <Bytram> Please, someone, ANYONE, tell me that I am missing something here!
[20:21:47] <Bytram> FWIW, I am running Windows 7 Professional.
[20:33:58] <Gravis> Bytram: the fact that you are still using Windows is a mistake you should rectify.
[20:34:25] <Bytram> I *am* working towards that goal. this is just another incentive to speed up the pace.
[20:35:03] <Bytram> I have, sadly, many *many* years of custom-written batch programs and scripts that will take time to translate over.
[20:35:42] <Bytram> atm, I've got Mate available in a VM and am making a start.
[20:36:08] <Gravis> i don't give a damn about your excuses.
[20:36:21] <Bytram> in the meantime, I *guess* that if I do not use Internet Explorer for anything except Windows bulletins/updates/etc. I should be all set.
[20:36:55] <Bytram> fine. Nor do I care terribly about your view on the matter; I'm getting around to it on my own time.
[20:37:00] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Apple Faces Hefty Damages After Losing Patent Lawsuit to Univ. of Wisconsin - http://sylnt.us - imaginary-numbers
[20:38:40] <Bytram> that said, until such time that I *do* get things converted over, it makes sense to mitigate whatever security holes I am made aware of. Hence my comments here.
[20:38:41] <Gravis> Bytram: what is so important about some batch files?
[20:40:04] <Gravis> Bytram: what do they do that you can't do on linux already?
[20:40:06] <Bytram> You may as well ask what is so important about some bash scripts? I have several hundred that I have written over the past two decades that allow me to automate many things I do on my computer.
[20:41:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> should be a good learning opportunity for your bash skills for sure
[20:41:14] <Bytram> for one thing, where I work, there is a 'department' that is considered by corporate to be *two* departments and those in one cannot see the schedules for those in the other. It's a purely administrative distinction.
[20:41:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> or perl if you want to dust your skills off in preparation for working on rehash
[20:42:00] <Gravis> ugh... perl
[20:42:19] <Bytram> I have written a number of scripts that take downloaded and/or hand-crafted .HTML versions of the provieded HTML and merge it into a seperate web page that includes much other ancillary information and makes it available all in one place.
[20:42:24] <Gravis> you are better off writing some cross platform code than some script bullshit
[20:42:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh and WTF, Bytram... you sub the story about the numbers then go and get 250k yourself
[20:42:33] * Bytram has expereince in both perl and bash

[20:45:00] <Gravis> Bytram: it's easy to parse and build HTML using Qt
[20:45:13] <Bytram> that's good.
[20:45:33] <Bytram> a great deal of the code behind the scenes is written in AWK.
[20:45:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> should mostly be cross-platform then
[20:46:09] <Bytram> and, in true Unix fashion, I have small batch programs that perform one task and I employ them as a suite to get the job done.
[20:46:55] <Bytram> that was part of the thinking when I first coded them -- can't think of a *nix system I've been on that does not have gawk installed or at least readily available.
[20:47:24] <Bytram> some of this code dates back 10, 15, even 20 years.
[20:48:39] <Bytram> possibly the biggest challenge will be converting between windows' and *nix's use of different separators in paths
[20:48:55] <Bytram> c:\foo\bar\buzz vs /foo/bar/buzz
[20:50:03] <Bytram> that, and the very different escaping mechanisms for locating, using, and ignoring special characters such as new-line
[20:52:07] <Bytram> when I updated to this lappy with win 7 from an old xp lappy, I was concerned as to how much conversion effort there would be. Fortunately, the vast majority came over okay.
[20:52:22] <Bytram> i'm still stumbling upon gotchas, but they are (so far) rare and far between.
[20:53:24] <Bytram> so, I'm taking the slow and steady approach. I'll gradually move along and start converting things as I go. i already have git-bash installed so that is one major step in my being able to code up a conversion.
[20:53:45] <Bytram> break time; biab
[20:59:56] <Yog-Yogguth> looking at that cooment and seeing the update there's a missing not int he last paragraph: "could do" vs. "could not do" :D
[21:00:12] * Yog-Yogguth has done worse

[22:24:27] <brainacid> I cant wait for Miegakure
[22:28:53] <SirFinkus> never heard of it
[22:29:01] <brainacid> Check it out
[22:36:09] <nick> just checked it out, looks interesting
[22:36:09] <SirFinkus> hmm, don't normally like those types of games
[22:36:13] <nick> been a while in coming though...
[22:36:41] <nick> an 'upcoming' game that xkcd did a comic on in 2010, lots of waiting.
[22:38:09] <SirFinkus> seems to me that the whole "puzzle platformer indie game" genre is oversaturated
[22:38:30] <brainacid> Well I believe the dude is solo on the project not really sure
[22:38:30] <nick> not something i'd normally play
[22:38:50] <brainacid> I played Braid and thats interesting
[22:39:36] <brainacid> dont follow the gaming scene much honestly, more of a wannabe-powerlifter/philosopher-pornstar jaja
[22:43:42] <Gravis> brainacid: hmm... first time being a legitimate question: bro, do you even lift?
[22:47:42] <brainacid> Gravis: yup
[22:47:49] <brainacid> you an see my log on lift.net

[23:17:28] <BadCoderFinger> Hi guys
[23:21:53] <BadCoderFinger> Quiet in here... Too quiet.
[23:23:39] * Yog-Yogguth says something
[23:24:45] <BadCoderFinger> I'm hearing whispers in the dark! It must be Cthulhu! I'm doomed!
[23:24:52] <Yog-Yogguth> feels like it's been a long week, don't know why, maybe it's the same for others
[23:24:54] <Yog-Yogguth> :)
[23:25:19] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, long week at work for sure. The bane of my existence is other people's code.
[23:25:20] <Yog-Yogguth> also been reading the intercept stuff on drones (not done yet)
[23:26:32] <Yog-Yogguth> it's probably wrong to call it another Snowden like RT did but it's still interesting/worrying some of the stuff that pops up in-between all the the rest
[23:26:32] -!- PlowKing has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

[23:26:58] <Barrabot> ^* 03The Drone Papers
[23:27:44] <Yog-Yogguth> which language(s) BadCoderFinger?
[23:27:53] <BadCoderFinger> C++ and bash script.
[23:27:53] <Bender> karma - c: 39
[23:28:10] <BadCoderFinger> HA!
[23:28:14] <Yog-Yogguth> :D
[23:28:32] <BadCoderFinger> I love C. I have a love/hate relationship with C++.
[23:29:13] <Yog-Yogguth> I don't know myself but I hear bad things about C++
[23:29:32] <BadCoderFinger> Templates are just the spawn of Cthulhu.
[23:29:43] <takyon> AMD fans are not going to like my latest submission
[23:30:05] <brainacid> Oh well
[23:30:11] <BadCoderFinger> The problem with C++ was summed up nicely by Ken Thompson, who said, "Bjarne Stroustroup just couldn't say 'no' to anybody."
[23:30:18] <brainacid> LOL
[23:30:23] <brainacid> C is truth
[23:30:47] <brainacid> bish bosh bash ... is so lovely
[23:32:02] <BadCoderFinger> I write utilities in ruby. It's like perl, but more legible. Once it gets over 500 lines or so, it's time to rewrite it in C.
[23:32:04] <brainacid> Any language is great depending on the problem
[23:32:38] <brainacid> Cool. I only read code for fun, not good at all in any language, just facinated by them
[23:32:46] <BadCoderFinger> I like Befunge for email signatures. If you're smart enough to run Befunge, you're smart enough to send me email.
[23:34:30] <brainacid> lol befunge
[23:34:35] <takyon> elitist
[23:34:37] <BadCoderFinger> brainacid: Give coding a try, it's really easy to get hooked.
[23:34:39] <brainacid> interesting
[23:34:55] * Yog-Yogguth tries to guess most disruptive tech for past 100 years = diesel engine
[23:35:00] <BadCoderFinger> takyon: Heh!
[23:35:05] <brainacid> BadCoderFinger: I have made simple useless things for myself but never can get hooked for too long
[23:35:40] <brainacid> tried Haskell, Erlang, Python, Perl, C and x86 Assembly
[23:35:55] <brainacid> little Fortran, Racket and Clojure
[23:36:28] <brainacid> But cant seem to find a project that keeps me interested long enough to develop any kind of proficiency
[23:36:59] <BadCoderFinger> Surely there's some open source project out there that needs your contributions.
[23:37:23] <BadCoderFinger> Just takes time to find it.
[23:38:04] <brainacid> Ive looked but I guess Im too simple-minded or just plain whack, Ive wanted to make an app that takes a sentence and defines each word and then you select the most appropriate definition and the app rewrites the sentence
[23:38:32] <BadCoderFinger> That could be cool.
[23:38:35] <brainacid> Would be a nice way to study
[23:38:40] <BadCoderFinger> We could apply it to all the AC comments...
[23:39:24] <brainacid> Like feed it a book of plain text and as you read you can select a sentence to reword it by selecting definitions for each word, to enhance my understanding of the Bhagavad-gita was the real motivation
[23:39:32] <brainacid> AC?
[23:39:42] <BadCoderFinger> AC == Anonymous Coward
[23:39:46] <brainacid> Oh
[23:39:58] <BadCoderFinger> Also, you should search for "The Revelation of St. Alice"
[23:40:13] <brainacid> alright
[23:40:52] <BadCoderFinger> Some guy wrote a 2-level Markov chain text generator, then fed it "Alice In Wonderland" and the book of Revelation. It was interestin.
[23:41:32] <BadCoderFinger> I used Markov chains for language detection in a web search engine.
[23:41:43] <brainacid> cool
[23:41:48] <brainacid> never heard of the chain
[23:41:56] <brainacid> found the txt
[23:42:05] <brainacid> ill bbl
[23:42:08] <brainacid> nice chat
[23:42:10] <brainacid> :D
[23:42:13] * brainacid waves
[23:42:26] <BadCoderFinger> Later!
[23:43:29] <BadCoderFinger> I'm actually tempted to write a Markov chain generator, feed it my company's literature, then present the generated text as my review. I'll either get a raise or get laid off.
[23:44:06] <takyon> or sent for psych eval
[23:44:26] <BadCoderFinger> In the US, that's the same as "laid off."
[23:44:35] <takyon> the company cares
[23:44:52] <BadCoderFinger> Yes! About their image!
